No headroom problems, I'm 5'10". When I first bought the boat, I was going
to remove it. As I sailed it, I grew to like it more and more:

I like it because:
	Looks a little retro
	Keeps the boom out of the way!
	Great for hanging on when caught in a blow
	Increased safety - I knew someone killed during an accidental jibe.

	I looked at your picture.....it is really hard to see but I think I
get the
	idea.  Because of where it is, do you have any headroom problems?
Why do you
	like it?
